The Latrobe Regional Gallery on Commercial Road is the main cultural venue in the Latrobe Valley and punches well above its weight for a regional gallery of this size. The permanent collection focuses on Australian art with a particular strength in works connected to the region — there are pieces reflecting the valley's industrial heritage alongside landscape paintings and contemporary works from artists who have lived and worked in Gippsland.
The gallery hosts a changing program of travelling exhibitions from major Australian institutions, meaning there is usually something worthwhile on even for visitors who pass through on a weekday. Entry to the permanent collection is free; temporary exhibitions may have a small charge. The gallery also runs a good program of workshops and community events.
